Description: The main focus of Literary Subterfuge and Contemporary Persian Fiction is to identify components and elements which define Persian modernist fiction, placing an emphasis on literary concepts and devices which provide the dynamics of the evolutionary trajectory of this modernism. The question of 'who writes Iran' refers to a contested area which goes beyond the discipline of literary criticism. Non-literary discourses have made every effort to impose their ""committed"" readings on literary texts; they have even managed to exert influence on the process of literary creation.
